CERT-MU, which operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, has been honoured with the prestigious National Innovator Hall of Fame 2025 Award in the Public Sector Category for its MAUCORS+ platform — the enhanced Mauritian Cybercrime Online Reporting System. This national recognition stands as a testament to our commitment to creating a secure and digitally resilient Mauritius through homegrown innovation.
Launched by the Mauritius Research and Innovation Council (MRIC), the National Innovator Hall of Fame aims to reward outstanding local innovations that spur development, creativity and a thriving innovation culture, especially among the younger generation. CERT-MU’s submission under the “Best National Innovator – Public Organisations” category exemplified the power of public sector innovation in addressing real-world digital threats.
Following its shortlisting in May 2025 and a successful pitch at the MBC, MAUCORS+ emerged as the Winner, receiving a Rs 75,000 prize at the award ceremony held on Friday, 27 June 2025, at Ravenala Attitude Hotel, Balaclava. MAUCORS+ has transformed the way cybercrimes are reported and monitored in Mauritius — enabling faster detection, better citizen engagement and smarter analytics.
